The saddest incident of the fire is the
loss of Mark Osborne, the genial day
clerk of the hotel. He occupied q room
with Mr.. Clinton Bidwell, who escaped.
Osborne got up first, but Mr.. Biiwoll lost
him in the confusion, and he was in some
way lost. A guest, who registered at the
hotel, remarked to the missing man:
Osborne, you'll engage to get every
body out if there's firel"
'Oh, yes" replied Osborne, smilingly.
The little girl that Mr. Rumsey picked
up in the hallway and saved was Mamie
Mann, daughter of one of the hotel pro-
prietors. He buried the little ones face
in his night shirt, and thus protected her
from the flames. He is raving in delirium
and calling loudly and continually for tho
little girl he rescued. His noble action is
warmly praiseL
Barry Davis, of the corner of Canal and
Greene streets, New York, who Is at the
Emergency Hospital, says he was in the
room No. 1871, third foor, Eagle street side.
He was awakened by the electric bell and
got up to dress, thinking it was call, as
he left word to be called at six O. clock. 1t
was then half past three O'Clock, by his
watch Then he heard cries of fire" and
r1Ia HI n n
he grabbed his clothes and ran out TIE
flames were roaring up the stairway and
the corridors were filed with smoke.
Wrapping his head in his overcoat, he
tumbled down the stairs and fell in a
heap on several bodies lying on the floor;
but, picking himself up, he made his way
to the balcony, from which he was res
cued His burns are severe. He can not
say whether the bodies he fell upon were
insensibe or not, or whether they had
Stumbled like himself.
